The Nov. 7 slate is shaping up as one of the season’s biggest, and Georgia’s trip to Ole Miss is right in the middle of it.
The SEC announced Monday that No. 3 Georgia will face No.
12 Ole Miss at 7:30 p.m. ET on ABC.
The matchup carries College Football Playoff stakes, and it gives the Bulldogs another shot in a place that has not treated Kirby Smart well. Georgia is 0-2 in Smart’s career at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium.
These teams have already crossed paths three times in the last two seasons, with plenty of swing in the results. Georgia fell 28-10 in its last visit to Oxford during the 2024 season.
The Bulldogs answered with a 43-35 win in Athens last year, only to see Ole Miss turn the tables later in the College Football Playoff and end Georgia’s season with a 39-34 win in New Orleans. That game featured several huge plays from Ole Miss quarterback Trinidad Chambliss.
Ole Miss enters the week at 5-2 after losing at Texas this past weekend. Before Georgia comes to town, the Rebels still have Auburn on the schedule this Saturday.
Georgia, meanwhile, had the weekend off after a shocking 27-24 home loss to Auburn. The Bulldogs now turn to No.
17 Florida this week, with that game set for a 3:30 p.m. start on ABC. Florida also beat Ole Miss earlier this season, rolling to a 52-28 win.
Georgia remains one of only two SEC teams with just one loss so far, alongside Kentucky. But Smart made it clear the road ahead is anything but easy.
“I certainly hope we can manage the coming weeks with our players health well,” Smart said. “It seems that we’re more beat up than we have been in the past when I sit in injury reports.
That’s not because we’re doing more. We’re doing less.
But it’s just a tough gauntlet of games and even more to come.”

Georgia Fans Have A New Reason To Watch The Arch Manning Rumor
Arch Manning is back in the rumor mill, and this one has a Georgia twist that will get plenty of attention in Athens. The Texas quarterback has dealt with accuracy issues and turnovers during his college career, but a new report from On3 analyst David Pollack says an SEC head coach believes Manning could end up transferring to Georgia for the 2027 season. It is the kind of speculation that immediately catches the eye of Bulldogs fans, especially with his name already carrying so much weight in the sport.
Manning has long been connected to Georgia, since he previously considered the Bulldogs before choosing Texas. For now, though, the idea remains just that, a rumor without confirmation, and there is still a long way to go before anything becomes real. Even so, the fact that Georgia is once again being mentioned in the Manning conversation is enough to keep this storyline on the radar as the quarterback situation develops over the next couple of seasons.

Georgias 2027 QB Picture Just Got A Lot More Interesting
Georgias quarterback board for 2027 picked up a notable name this week when Bo Bryan, the son of country music star Luke Bryan, announced his commitment to the Bulldogs. The 3-star prospect from Battle Ground Academy in Franklin, Tennessee, had multiple offers to sort through, but Georgia emerged as the fit that made the most sense, especially with the way offensive coordinator Mike Bobo likes to shape his offense.
Bryan has put together a strong season at Battle Ground Academy, throwing for 2,100 yards and 30 touchdowns in seven games. For Georgia, the pledge adds another layer to the long-term quarterback conversation and gives the staff an early foothold with a player who already looks comfortable operating in a system that values timing, rhythm and accuracy.

Nick Saban Just Put Georgias Biggest Florida Concern In Focus
Georgias loss to Auburn came down to a familiar kind of problem, one that can undo even the most talented roster in a hurry. The Bulldogs committed three turnovers while Auburn played cleanly, and Gunner Stocktons two interceptions and late fumble were central to how the game slipped away. The result left Georgia with a reminder that even when the overall performance looks good enough, mistakes can still decide the night.
Nick Sabans recent comments only sharpened the point: championship teams protect the football, and Georgia has to do the same if it wants to stay on that track. Auburn may have caught a break or two along the way, but the bigger takeaway for Georgia is less about one bad result than the margin for error it keeps giving opponents. If the Bulldogs clean that up, they still look like a team built to handle the stretch ahead. [Read more 🡒]
